Answer 1

Kidneys

Question 2

Kidney sorts the substances from the blood for either?

Answer 2

removal in the urine or return to the blood

Question 3

A small muscular tubule lined with Transitional epithelium which is also called Urothelium. It carries urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder. Carries urine from Kidney.

Answer 3

Ureters

Question 4

Urinary bladder acts as a reservoir for urine. Urinary bladder can stretch to hold a large urine volume.

Answer 4

Urinary Bladder

Question 5

Maximum volume of urinary bladder is at 1L but the noticeable discomfort is at?

Answer 5

500mL

Question 6

A fibromuscular tube that carries urine from the bladder to the exterior of the body.

Answer 6

Urethra

Question 7

[Anatomical parts of the kidney] Outer kidney region, which is lighter in color.

Answer 7

Renal cortex

Question 8

[Anatomical parts of the kidney] Deep to the cortex; a darker, reddish-brown color.

Answer 8

Renal medulla

Question 9

[Anatomical parts of the kidney] A relatively flat, basin like cavity that is continuous with the ureter.

Answer 9

Renal pelvis

Question 10

[Anatomical parts of the kidney] Delivers blood to kidneys (blood needs to be filtered)

Answer 10

Renal arteries

Question 11

[Anatomical parts of the kidney] Drains blood out of the kidneys, goes back to the bloodstream (clean blood).

Answer 11

Renal vein

Question 12

_________ is present at the kidneys, it is the functional unit of it. This is where the filtration of blood happens and production of urine.

Answer 12

Nephron

Question 13

This production of urine in nephron. Is where the blood would arrive through the Renal Artery and filtration of the blood happens.

Answer 13

Glomerulus

Question 14

This production of urine in nephron. Cleans blood would pass through efferent arterioles to the renal vein and back to the bloodstream.

Answer 14

Proximal convoluted tubule

Question 15

This production of urine in nephron. After the proximal convoluted tubule it will pass through a loop of henle. Thin tubules. This is where water reabsorption.

Answer 15

Descending loop of henle

Question 16

This production of urine in nephron. This is where sodium chloride and urea reabsorption happens.

Answer 16

Ascending loop of henle

Question 17

This production of urine in nephron. The urine would go up until it reaches Distal convoluted tubule. This is where Sodium reabsorption happens.

Answer 17

Distal convoluted tubule

Question 18

This production of urine in nephron. This is where water reabsorption happens.

Answer 18

Collecting duct

Question 19

This Urine Formation, is where water and solutes smaller than proteins are forced through the capillary walls and pores of the glomerular capsule into the renal tubule. Process of Filtration.

Answer 19

Glomerular Filtration

Question 20

This Urine Formation, is where water, glucose, amino acids, and needed ions are transported out of the filtrate into the tubule cells and then enter the capillary blood.

Answer 20

Tubular Reabsorption

Question 21

Excess that we could still use in the urine would be reabsorbed back to the blood (para di sayang).
That is why ___________ and _________ are close to each other; this is where the reabsorption happens, the ions would travel towards the capillaries.

Answer 21

capillary and tubules

Question 22

This Urine Formation, is where H+, K+, creatinine, and drugs are removed from the peritubular blood and secreted by the tubule cells into the filtrate.

Answer 22

Tubular Secretion
